#538: Today was a beautiful day.
#539: I took a different way to work and got there 5 minutes
faster.
#540: I discovered that 3 of my 4 clients had rescheduled
and I was finished with work by 10 AM.
#541: I got to hang out at YMCA Camp Winnebago with a group
of 8th grade students from Thurgood Marshall School for the Rotary
Academy program. The sun was shining, the arm was warm and the students were
doing team-building exercises. I spent 2 hours watching them have a great day.
#542: For the first time in over a week, I am caught up on
all my paperwork.
#543: I drove around a Rockford neighborhood near the river
and looked at fall leaves everywhere in gold, red and orange.
#544: I sat with my mom in the afternoon, a rare treat, and
ate popcorn while we sipped coffee.
#545: I visited the neighbor with Karyn. I watched both of
them in mom mode, responding to the needs of their children with love and
grace, and felt impressed by how they handle the challenges of parenting. I hoped
to be a mom like them someday. I enjoyed when we found time to connect even
with the noise and chaos of four children.
#546: I had dinner with my parents and talked about what it
would look like for me to buy a house, someday. I wondered how far away that day
will actually be.
#547: I came to R2HOP and beamed while a good friend gave a
fantastic presentation on what a house of prayer is. I relished hearing it from
her unique perspective.
Today was a day full of gifts. I thank God for each one and
how He wraps me up in His love.
